One thing to note is that a CAV laser disc track consists of up to 54,000 concentric circles while a CLV track is a continuous spiral, just like CDs and DVDs. Each concentric circle on a CAV disc represents a single frame. For those that like to study film sequences and how they develop (particularly animation), CAV is king over all other formats.

I don't want to get to deep into it now, but, in fact, there ain't no such animal as CLV anymore, but the term has become a convention.
